HopeBridge was born from a shared passion to see children and families not simply survive difficult circumstances, but truly heal, grow, and thrive.

Jennifer brings a background in human relations, leadership, ministry, and program development, with a deep passion for trauma-informed care and whole-child development. She is a TBRI Practitioner, holds a Master’s in Human Relations and is pursuing a Doctor of Education in Christian Leadership and Educational Ministries. Her experience in ministry leadership, international missions, foster and adoptive family support, and developing programs for vulnerable children has shaped her vision for creating environments where every child knows they are seen, valued, and deeply loved.

Nate is a United States Army veteran who served for seven years, including a deployment to Afghanistan, and honorably served as an Army Captain. A graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point with a degree in Civil Engineering, Nate brings a heart for service, leadership, responsibility, and caring for others. He also has a deep love for the outdoors and a desire to help children experience the beauty and wonder of God’s creation. Outside of his successful business, Nate is an active father and co-leader in supporting foster and adoptive families.

As foster and adoptive parents ourselves, we understand that caring for children who have experienced trauma takes more than good intentions—it takes community, connection, patience, and hope.

HopeBridge is our response to that calling: creating a place where children and families can find support, experience healing, discover their God-given worth, and build a stronger future together.
